Apparently that's the new transfer rule. Just a bad rule change. Either way catch the ball. Arencibia is just garbage. Can't hit or field.

Replays like that will ruin baseball

Nope. Was exactly right. Awful rule though. Same thing happened many times this season. Awful rule but they are consistent on it.

Well, I'm watching from a restaraunt with no sound. So I'll take your word for it.

The twitter beat writers are all over it saying it's the correct call based on the interpretation, but it really needs to be changed.

That is a terrible interpretation of the rule. Before it was always if the glove closed around the ball it was an out. This having to control it with the throwing hand is horse crap

Seattle can suck it.

Kind Of like the tuck rule in football. Hopefully they'll fix it in the off season.

Bright side is Colby didn't look too bad.

Bad side is Ron Washington's managerial deficiencies couldn't be overcome with a good team last year -- it's certainly not going to turn out well with a bad team.

The offense is just plain bad without Beltre. Is it banged up? Sure... But replacing Arencibia with Soto and Josh Wilson with Profar isn't going to make that significant a difference.

Go sign Kendrys Morales and at least give this offense a fighting chance.

M's had a play where Ackley made a great sliding catch and dropped transfer. Runner was on first and he got confused so they got him forced at second. Awful.

Apparently point of emphasis with vids sent out before season.

Colby looked pretty darn good in my estimation. This team is liable to be frustrating to watch this year though. I think it is going to be a fitful offense and some wtf moments on defense that will ultimately sink the team. Hope I a wrong though.

Don't forget replacing Mitch Moreland at 1B with Mitch Moreland at DH.

Can we get Kinsler back?

There is the Noesi the Mariners grew to know.

3 hits thru 6 innings. Oh my.

Maybe Princey will finally hit a bomb when down 7-0.

Time for the peck-away...

3 Runs here.

Once again. I'd press hard on the Don't come bet there.

Even Fielder's hits are bad.

Two of his doubles are flukes.

Great outing by the Cuban kid. Was in AA last year.

Emily looking a bit rough these days. Might be time to promote one of the fox sports SW girls.

And Dana looking better and better.

Pretty loud bunch for such a small crowd. What's up with the bird calls lol?

If this rally bird thing works, it needs to become a tradition.

Fielder with another lucky hit

Woooo. Princey with two smashes hits tonight. Getting it done boys.

Fielder is going to luck his way to .200 pretty soon.

I miss Beltre

Atta boy Wash take one of your hot bats out of the line up for Jim friggin Adduci!

Did you miss that part where Wash got thrown out?

Or Magadan....whoever the eff is making the shots in his place

Wash has already rubbed off on Bogar.

Bogarts was brought in to keep Wash from making those dumb decisions it's ironic that he made that dumb move. I agree with you it was a terrible move.

Late to this, but what a terrible terrible rule change. What if someone catches a line drive and then flips to the base to get a runner who's tagging? No outs? Why is the definition of a catch different for someone who doesn't have to throw the ball after he catches it?

I haven't heard an official reason for why they did this, but I'm assuming it's because they needed some standard that was easier to review. I'm in favor of replay, but the NFL catch/ no catch review is an absolute joke. Not sure how you look at the situation the NFL has created there and not learn that some decisions have to be judgment calls made in real time.

Rule will be gone by next year, possibly even sometime this year.

the rule has always been a catch is catch and release, but it has never been called that way. The play at the plate would be called an out 99 out of 100 times prior to review.

M's manager even stated after the game how stupid the rule is, but he will still use to his advantage until changed.
